We only recommend products we love and that we think you will, too. We may receive a portion of sales from products purchased from this article, which was written by our Commerce team.

One of the best things about shopping on Amazon is the fact that you get to crowd-source opinions while you shop. Just a quick scroll down the page and you can check product ratings and read reviews posted by real buyers. It's a dream come true for those of us who stress about the possibility of buyer's remorse. (Raises hand.) But if you don't have hours to devote to combing through reviews, you can rely on us. We've sourced all these awesome things on Amazon that have tons of 5-star ratings.

Now, getting anywhere close to a 5-star rating on Amazon is nothing short of a monumental achievement. Since most everyone posts anonymously, the reviews are no holds barred. And let me tell you —some of the opinions communicated are brutally honest.

The bright side of that? When you read tons of reviews singing the praises of some product, you can rest assured that it really is good.

Here's the thing: avid shoppers eventually catch on to products with consistently high ratings, which means they can sell out fast. In other words, you don't want to sleep on any of these items — they might be gone before you know it.
